Pathetic.

This is how Tyler had to have dinner last night.

At least it wasn't Fruity Pebbles.

11 friends are talking:

I don't want to hit a nerve here, because I love you and all ... but have you considered that y'all might be over scheduled ... just a tad? lol.

At least you plan ahead and he's not eating a Big Mac:)

OK, in my defense, each child gets one sport per season (I know, Tyler did track while he was playing baseball...but it was only 5 weeks) and we usually have one game or practice per night, sometimes a night has two. A few nights totally clash. Last night was one of them. Both boys had 8 pm games, one in Allen, one in Celina. I had it all worked out...me to Allen, Maris to Celina. At 430, Maris called and said he couldn't leave work before 7 or so, he had a deal working and we are not passing any off these days. SO I had to get T to a friend's house to get a ride, and they needed him there early enough to get their other son to HIS baseball game on time. So Tyler got his homework done and had to eat in the car on the way over to Davis' house. I am proud of myself that it was an actual meal...

At least it wasn't Oreos and milk! My boys had a hotdog and churro from Costco tonight.

Hey, I swear I heard "Welcome to Sonic, may I take your order?" while talking to you this evening.... just say'n..... I'm sure you ordered a banana and a milk, right? ;)

Tonight I prepared Chicken Enchiladas for my family. The "Welcome to Sonic" you heard was for the post-game ice cream cone for Liza after her softball game tonight...

Good job on planning ahead. Usually I grab fries on the go.

Bethanne April 22, 2009 at 8:35 AM  

Oh boy. I remember those meals (5 kids in my family and all involved in everything). So I remember having to grab some dinners on the fly. Won't kill 'em! :)

Andrea, I'm laughing so hard ... your life is a circus!

Tiff Gatten April 22, 2009 at 8:53 PM  

Keep um busy I say. Good for you! Keeps them with you and out of trouble, and they learn to improvise. It's not a perfect wold...work with me people!

These kids took one look at your plight and their little Turkish hearts broke. They want to know that they'll think of you next time the are at Sonic for a little treat!
Also they drive a really nice car, so if you need a ride somewhere phone them on the Blackberry their parent's hooked them up with, they'll swing by and get you. (get ya'll)

"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R.

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
